Hello,
I'm having an issue importing multiple pdf files in a folder. Each pdf files contains a "sideways" table where the header is on the left of the table and the information is on the right.
No issue when importing a single pdf and using transpose but cannot get it working when using multiple pdfs.
E.g. Example PDF file content in each PDF:
Date: | 2021/09/21 |
Sequence No: | 12 |
Amount: 2300 | 2300 |
Description: | Sample Text |
Remarks: | Sample Text |
End result should be a single table containing information from all PDFs:
Date: | Sequence No: | Amount | Description | Remarks |
2021/09/21 | 12 | 2300 | Sample Text | Sample Text |
2021/09/27 | 14 | 3750 | Sample Text | Sample Text |
2021/09/27 | 16 | 1230 | Sample Text | Sample Text |
Thank you for any suggestions.
Solved! Go to Solution.
write a custom function (or put it inline) that unpivots the table extracted from each PDF before you combine the results.
If you can provide a couple sample PDFs we can show the required Power Query.
Thank you. It's working perfectly.
Since you made it, I have the same problem!!!
Best regards!!!
